UCSB Psychology 121

Lecture Note Corrections

Fall, 2000

Hal S. Kopeikin, Ph.D.



Dear Students:
In my lecture outlines, posted at http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/~kopeikin/121lec.htm, there are references to graphs and info in the text.  Some of these references changed in the text's 5th edition, and a list of those changes appear below.

I've revised the lecture notes, but if you printed them before 12/7/00, you might want to keep this list handy when you're studying for the final.

Hal
